Over the last few days, Room 9 have been reading a story called Evil Fred by Kylie Begg and Jacob Leaf. Apart from Evil Fred, the main characters are the Rancid Family. Have you heard of them? You can listen to a podcast that previous Pt England students have made by clicking here.

The children in Room 9 have been learning to write simple sentences that describe and explain what the Rancid family are like. Here are some examples:

The Rancid family are mean and silly. I don't like the Rancid family.By Alexis

The Rancids are a mean, big and nasty family. The dad puts bad stuff in the supermarket.By Zane

The Rancid family was a nasty and cheeky. The Rancid famiy are rude. I think Mr and Mrs Rancid are the meanest people in the land.By Enyahlee

Every Friday Pt England School has whole school assembly. As part of assembly, we have Lunch Box Heroes. In order for you to be a Lunch Box Hero, you have to have three things in your lunchbox.

1. Bread: A sandwich or roll2. One piece of fruit: apples or bananas or oranges etc3. One healthy snack: Yoghurt or crackers or cheese etc

When children's lunchboxes are checked, their names go into a draw and during school assembly if your name is drawn out, you line up and get to pick a healthy treat from the big Hero box. There are only 10 winners.This week these are the children who were lunchbox heroes: Zane, Michael, Uli, Cyrus, Maroroa, Antonia, Brooklyn, Ariana, Sarai, Mahana, Alexis and Taimana.

Today three of Room 9 Zane, Ariana and Michael were very lucky to have their names drawn. Well done! Who will be a Lunchbox Hero next week?
